Overview
- Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone call with Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan, Iranian media reported, to review recent regional developments.
- During a visit to Beijing, Araghchi met Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi and told him that Tehran has begun talks with neighboring countries to restore peace and stability.
- Iranian reporting says Araghchi also spoke by phone with Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir while in China, reflecting Pakistan’s ongoing mediation role.
- Officials describe these exchanges as active multilateral diplomacy but there is no confirmed agreement or de‑escalation on the table yet.
- The outreach follows a June Islamabad memorandum and Pakistan’s August visit to Tehran and takes place under continued U.S. sanctions pressure and risks to oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
